Abstract

The purpose of this study was to isolate a specific DNA probe for the strain ATTC 25611 of the species Prevotella intermedia by using a new rapid screening mothod. The whole-genomic DNA of P. intermedia ATCC 25611 was isolated and purified. The HindIII-digested genomic DNAs from the strain were cloned by the random cloning method. To screen the strain-specific DNA probe, inverted dot blot hybridization tests were performed. In this assay, 20 ng of recombinant plasmids containing the HindIII-digested genomic DNA fragment were boiled and blotted onto a nylon membrane, and hybridized with digoxigenin-dUTP labeled genomic DNAs in a concentration of 100 ng/ml. Southern blot analysis was performed in order to confirm the results of the inverted dot blot hybridization tests. The data showed that a Pi34 probe (2.1 kbp; 1 out of 32 probes) was specific for P. intermedia strain ATCC 25611 and could be useful for the detection and identification of the strain, particularly in epidemiological studies of periodontal disease.
